O'Flynn tells City Council to get smart

Northside councillor Kenneth O'Flynn has placed a motion before Cork City Council requesting the Council to develop an application for smart phones similar to those that have been developed in other cities throughout the world

speaking to the press O'Flynn said “the present Cork city application for smart phones is nowhere near where it should be, most leading cities in the world now have developed smart applications giving full guides to the city with not only tourist information and maps etc but also hospitality, restaurants and shopping information as well as a whole host of other offers the city and region may have”

O'Flynn went on to say in fact a number of these a smart applications are now turning a profit for the local authorities as most local authorities are now selling advertising for local companies on the applications

“it's about time we as a city move with the times”, an application costs to create somewhere in the region of €2000 I believe this would be money well spent by Cork City Council its a very small investment for something that could generate more spending in the city and potentially make money for the city
